In a little dive in a small Israeli city, Dov Greenstein, a comedian a bit past his prime, is doing a night of stand-up. In the audience is a district court justice, Avishai Lazar, whom Dov knew as a boy, along with a few others who remember Dov as an awkward, scrawny kid who walked on his hands to confound the neighborhood bullies. Gradually, as it teeters between hilarity and hysteria, Dov’s patter becomes a kind of memoir, taking us back into the terrors of his childhood: we meet his beautiful flower of a mother, a Holocaust survivor in need of constant monitoring, and his punishing father, a striver who had little understanding of his creative son. Finally, recalling his week at a military camp for youth—where Lazar witnessed what would become the central event of Dov’s childhood—Dov describes the indescribable while Lazar wrestles with his own part in the comedian’s story of loss and survival. Continuing his investigations into how people confront life’s capricious battering, and how art may blossom from it, Grossman delivers a stunning performance in this memorable one-night engagement (jokes in questionable taste included).

一个女人、一个家庭和一个国家的伤痛。
奥拉总是要求两个儿子不要坐同一辆公交车，因为害怕他们会在同一起袭击中死去。她更害怕半夜三更，儿子的阵亡通知会不期而至。
恐惧如影随形，只有爱和回忆能够驱除所有死亡的阴霾。
如果上战场是男人的保家卫国，那么奥拉的旅行就是女人在男人背后的守护。
小说充盈着忧伤和感叹，但也充盈着对生命的礼赞。文字敏感细致，触动内心最深层也最纯粹的感动。
奥拉的儿子奥弗即将从以色列国防军退役，却临时去了前线参加新的军事行动。在极度愤怒与悲伤中，奥拉离家出走，去北方加利利地区旅行，以“躲避”随时可能降临的奥弗殉职噩耗。
与她同行的，是她昔日好友和恋人阿夫拉姆。在山中，奥拉为儿子祈祷。在她的叙述下，奥弗的故事，意外成为她和阿夫拉姆的慰藉。而她对家庭和恋爱的回顾，也是一个母亲对战争和家庭的深刻反思。《到大地尽头》是一段回顾生命之旅，在爱与交流、回忆与再述中，那些即将失去的，已经失去的，将长存于心中，永不磨灭。

參孫的神話是聖經中最具戲劇張力的故事之一，本書作者試圖從中引出以巴衝突冤冤相報的一個原始端點，以其自由奔放的思緒來評釋經典，佐以知識分子的批判風骨、耐人尋味的人物心理分析，得出一種富有時代精神的神話新思維。作者比對今昔的以巴衝突對立，以人道的制高點來詮釋和平的價值觀，提供一種不同於政治正確的視角，發人深省。

《獅子蜜》的書名寓意取自參孫的一段經歷，參孫在敵人的地盤上徒手擊殺了遭遇的獅子，之後蜜蜂在獅子屍骨內築巢，參孫再度經過時便取蜂蜜而食。這個謎語般的巧妙象徵點出積極謀生求存的世界觀──遇強者須有勇氣與之搏鬥，而後才能享有甜美結果。

參孫常以英雄的形象流傳，一個命定去攻擊轄制以色列的外族非利士人的英雄，一生殺敵無數，最終選擇與敵人共亡的悲劇英雄。本書探討參孫的天賦使命與人性欲望的不斷衝突，作者以人性的角度來看待這位傳統的英雄人物，耳目一新之外，在在展現了絕妙奇趣的觀點，包括引出了近代精神分析學者從參孫的行為模式歸納出「參孫情結」──不自主地讓自己陷於有被背叛之虞的處境，而得以藉口展現狂暴衝動，最終走向毀滅性的同歸於盡。
